without hindrance, draining the poor, the ig-
norant, and the superstitious of their money,
and often of their morals, with the thirst of
the vampire and the tenacity of the leech,
was far greater than the evils brought about
by the policy shops and gambling dens.
Among these mediums, "clairyoyants" and
'astrologers" every degree of ignorance and
many grades of vice have been found. Some
of them earn preearious and scanty living
by harmless mummeries; others hold them
selves ready for the most nefarious crimes
1t is not many years ago that an exposure
similar to the one in Boston, was made IN
this city; and Portland and Boston are not
the only cities where such tricks have been
discovered, and these discoveries have had
the widest possible publicity. II any one is
still disposed to base his hopes and invest
his money in spiritualist rappings and APP
pearances it cannot be for want Of warning.

Instead of hurting the railroads and break
ing down monopoly, as its friends hoped it
would do, the Interstate commerce bill has
in one very conspicuous instance had the
precisely opposite effect of helping the rail
roads and promoting monopoly As is well
known, many coal fields are owned by rail-
roads. Many are also owned by private in
diyiduals. Heretofore the charges for trans
portation have been such that the private
owners have had no serious difficulty in COM
peting in the market with the corporation
owners. But uneer the Interstate law it
has become necessary for the railroad COM
anies to put up the through rates to New
York. The result is that the private coal
operator who cannot get transportation by
water is crowded out of business 1t makes
no difference to the railroad companies which
own fields what is the nominal rate charged
on their books for transportation The
whole operation Of mining the coal and get
ting it to market costs them no more than
before the freight rate was put up.N BY
charging on the books larger per cent. of
the cost to transportation and less to min
ing, the law is complied with and no addi-
tiona expense incurred. They. can still
deliver coal from their mines in New York
at the old price, while private operators by
reason of having to pay an increased rate
for transportation cannot deliver their coal
except at an advance The result is of course
to give to the railroad coal companies mo-
nopoly Of the business and crush out private
competitors completely.

An Associated Press despatch from Els
worth published elsewhere says that a dele
cation Of citizens called upon Collector Red
man at his Office yesterday and asked to see
the list of persons who had paid special
taxes when the Collector reversed his de-
cision" and allowed them to look at it. So
it appears that Collector Redman has at some
previous time ruled that the record of spec
ial taxes which the law in the plainest Ian
guage says "he shall keep and place con-
spieuously in his Office for public inspec-
ton" could not be seen by the public. One
of the first duties of public officer is to
study the statutes pertaining to his office.
If The Ellsworth despatch conveys a correct
impression Collector Redman cannot have
performed that duty even in the most desul-
tory manner.

The success of New York city in selling
her three per cent securities at l04.6 calls
attention to the low rate of interest which
people who have large sums to invest are
ready to accept on secure loan. In the
month of March the average price of per
cent government bonds was l27 .9S1S and the
average rate Of interest realized by investors
was 2.293 per cent The average price of
A per cents. was 10000, and the average
rate Of interest realized 2O3s per cent. The
poor man in Maine who grumbles at the 4
per cent. that the savings banks give him for
his earnings, for once at least has no reason
to envy the cautious rich mans superior
facilities for sure and profitable invest
ments

who are very numerous. Because Mr.. and

''The People VS. Jacob Sharp" was the sig
nifcant Endorsement upon the papers upon
which the arrest of the man Powell was
made in New York city few days ago. This
means that the trials Of the "boodle" alder
men, which have been slowly going on the
past year, are to be followed very soon
by the trial of the chief "boodler" of all, the
man who, with good reason, is accused of

At the session of the New York Methodist
Episcopal conference at Kingston, yesterday,
a resolution condemning the Crosby high Ii
cense law was rejected. Yet the Albany
representative of the Prohibition party had
the assurance recently to declare IN public
the Crosby bill. The Methodist church is
the most powerful opponent of intemperance
in the lana today, but it is not helping the
liquor interest by opposing temperance leg
islation as some Of the Prohibtionists are
doing. The first step toward strangling the
liquor traffic must be TO seek to control it,
and the saloon keepers recognize this fact
even if the Prohibitionists fail to see it.

Of two thousand, three hundred and fifty
nine postmasteIs who are appointed by the
President hardly four hundred are now Re-
publicans. Long before the remaining half
of Mr.. Cleveland's term has expired, there is
no reason to doubt, these Offices will be held
entirely by Democrats. This is not surprs-
ing. 1t is simply in accordance with the
prophesies made by the shrewdest observ-
ers when President Cleveland took Office.
There has been considerable hypocrisy, con-
siderable cant about an Office being public
trust, not a reward Of party service; but
Andrew jackson himself would not have
turned the offices over to the Democrats
more steadily or completely than Mr.. Cleve-
land is doing. 1t has not been done in
day; that would have been an impossibility.
But it is going on as fast as practicable. An
evidence of the hypocrisy Of the policy under
which this is done is the method of the re-
moyal In the South, where changes have
been very acceptable to the great dominant
party, the removals have been very sweep
ing. There is scarcely a Republican left
there in Office, while in New York, where
the doings Of the President are closely scru-
tinized by independent papers and voters,
there are the greatest number o. Republicans
undisturbed.

The civil rights bill has failed to give the
negro equal rights in the South. He is de-
MED the right to ride ON first-class railroad
cars, and the country has lately witnessed
an exhibition Of even worse injustice, the re-
fusal of an Alabama hotel keeper to allow
delegation of colored men to enter his house
to pay their respects to Senator Sherman. In
the interstate commerce bill, some of the
negroes think they detect measure of re-
lief. An incident that happened the other
day affords the opportunity for test case
A well dressed, gentlemanly appearing col
ored clergyman having bought frst-class
ticket from Chattanooga to Atlanta took his
seat in first-class car on the Western & At
lanta road The conductor ordered him into
the smoking car and he refused to so. There
upon three roughs assaulted thenegro, and at
the next station threw him off the train in
TO aditch. The abused man intends TO prose-
cute the road under the provisions of the
Interstate commerce bill, which declares it
unlawful for any railroad to give TO any per.
son any undue or unreasonable preference
or advantage" or to subject any person to
"any undue or unreasonable prejudice or dis
advantage in any respect whatever"

M'GLYNN'S CASE.

1t is not probable that the case of Nc
Glynn will be re-opened at Rome, although
it appears that he was not in all respects
treated in the open manner which he
should have been. The charge that bis
defense was suppressed by Cardinal Glib
bons is disproved by the testimony of the
cardinal himself; but 1t is just there that
the right to make complaint is given the
now somewhat famous ex priest 1t seems
that instead of laying the written defense
of McGlynn before the holy father, Car
dinal Gibbons read 1t over and impaired
its terms by word of mouth. 1t is barely
possible that in so doing some of its points
may have been unwittipgly omitted. while
others may have lost force in the repeating
In any event, McGlynn had the right to
his own defense, and 1t was mistake in
Cardinal Gibbons not to lay the document
itself before the propaganda.
However, even should the case be re-
opened, McGlynn has himself closed the
door against return to priesthood in the
Catholic church. His Incorporate remarks
regarding the vatican are an offense that
cannot be forgiven; and how could he. IN
less he admitted the statements made by
him to be untrue, expect to have any
standing either with Catholics or the com
munity at larger Under the circumstances
